yeah but I sometimes get stutters,it comes at random slows the game down like hell (haven't measured the fps) and than after some alt+tabbing, going to pause and resume it goes back to normal so I thought I should tweak the config

With that setup I doubt you will get anything extra in terms of performance by changing it since it should be running flawlessly. That is a six core, correct? I have a six core and the game set mine to 5 and 4 for the main and gpu, then 3, 2, 1, 0 for the cloth in that order.

I'm still having pretty bad performance issues. I don't get it. I have a 8 core intel xeon 2.8 ghz along with 12 gb of ram and an ati radeon HD 6800 with 1 gb of ram. I run about 52 to 53 fps all game but feel like I should be going full 60. Any thoughts?

No. You need raw performance. You can only get that with a new videocard. I'm assuming you have a laptop. You probably need to get a desktop to run the game well. Getting a new laptop would be more expensive.

There is always onlive. Since it only streams video and audio of the game, it would run with higher quality but still look like a youtube video.

This is how i used to run nba 2k11 with integrated vga laptop(would've work with 2k12 too):*All settings to low/off and 1280x720 res.*delete crowd.iff file, biggest fps boost because crowd removed completely, as in training mode.*Install intel gma modded drivers (google may help to find them). Some performance boost, but laptop will drain battery faster with them.*Turn off windows aero and run gamebooster to close as many background services.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrR3uBXKcSoi probably got them from here. DL links in describtionDon't expect a miracle with them. Your game will still be unplayable with high/medium player detail. Only some boost with lowest setting.As pdub mentioned, your laptop is simply too weak.

Im back, and I have the latest shadow mods running the game just as well as ever, getting 54+ FPS with Fraps measuring that means 60FPS and its extremely smooth even better than I remember. I love this game i'm going to be playing all summer

^^ Hey bro ! My specs are :- Intel core 2 duo @ 2.93 GHz , 2GB RAM, Nvidia 9500gt at 1GB. Without copying your settings im able to run the game smoothly for like 3-4 mins but after that it really stutters like hell and then comes back to normal again. Any suggestions ? And also my GPU's temp touches 100 c and the cpu temp also touches 80-85 degrees Celsius. Anyway to cool them down? Help needed !

You're most probably going to ruin your equipment if it's running at those temperatures. Find a decent tower and have someone put all your stuff in it. Make sure to get one that has a front, side and back fan already installed.

Hey Guys, I tried using this config but sadly it didn't work for me. My fps is dropping from time to time, and it goes back to normal. I don't know what's the cause of this. Can anyone spot this kind of problem? I can't enjoy playing with this kind of gameplay.

An i5, if I remember, only has four cores. Since the first core is zero, setting a thread to 4 might cause a problem. If you have edited your config, I suggest deleting it and letting the game recreate it. This helped in my case, and after looking at the config file, I noticed that the game used separate cores for all threads.

yeah, my calculation was kinda off.

so it would be something like this with a Quad Core:MAIN_LOGICAL_THREAD = 3GPU_LOGICAL_THREAD = 2

@Leftos: thanks for the tip sir..i think i know whats the problem...when i play using batteries only..it lags..when i play on AC power, the game runs smoothly even if with enb...is there really a difference when playing only with batteries and in AC power??

With battery laptop automatically runs in power saver mode, which means your cpu and gpu is underclocked then. You might change it with power plan settings, but you would kill battery capacity really fast while playing games on it. It's best to play games with AC power only.

help here when i run the game at high settings in the game i got no lag but when i tweak the settings at radeon pro and i raise it all to the max my fps drops to 40+-50+ from 75 heres my specs. i dont know what to do can someone help me?
